Mysterious object at bottom of Baltic Sea still making news

A mysterious object at the bottom of the Baltic Sea, which bears a resemblance to the Millennium Falcon from Star Wars, is now being linked to a possible Nazi device according to the Russian newspaper Pravda . An artist’s (see above screen shot photo) rendition shows how similar the object is to the ship from Star Wars.

Retired Swedish submarine officer Anders Autellus said that concrete structures were built as underwater traps by Germany to block sonar from Soviet submarines to navigate in the Gulf of Finland during the war , the Swedish newspaper Expressen reported.

Peter Lindberg, captain of the Ocean Explorer, and his co-researcher Dennis Asberg found the object in June of 2011. After the video went viral, the object was speculated to be possibly of alien origin, cropped stone or a sunken Russian ship. The two returned to the site in June to get a closer look according to the Huffington Post and samples were collected. Volker Bruchert, an associate professor of geology at Stockholm University, hypothesized that the object came from the Ice Age, reports lifeslittlemysteries.com .

Now the Baltic Sea anomaly will be the subject of an upcoming documentary, “The Mystery Beneath.”
